There are thousands of the animals or birds we cull turkeys sold every year in our markets that are not turkeys, any more than a gosling is a goose the lixst year of its growth. They are simply turk- lets, and if sold then ere sold just two years before they have reached their ma turity. Adubon, the great American or nithologist, says : “The third year tho male bird may be said to be an adult, al though it increases in weight and size for several years more. The females at the age of four are in full beauty.” The naturalist was then speaking of the wild turkey ; but as all our families of domes tic turkeys have descended from tho wild ones, not more than three hundred years ago—and frequently crossings are known to have been made during that time to the present—it is but reasonable to suppose that the law of growth that governs the wild turkey also to a greet extent controls the domestic. Indeed, domestication has only changed the color of the plumage, and the history of the turkey is remarkable for this fact: that it does not sport in variety of form or size. Now, no breeder of swine would think of improving his stock—in size, at least—Ly killing oft every year his old or more than one-year-old sow, and breeding only from pigs a year old ; vet he would be quite as wise as he who an nually retains only his turklets or one- year-old turkeys for breeding purposes; Old turkeys do not lay so many eggs or as early in the season as younger birds; but the turklets are so much stronger, hatched from the eggs of old turkeys, that more can be raised from them in a season than from the eggs of the younger ones. Badly Mixed “What’s the matter, Bob ?” “Sam, who am 1 ?” “Why, you are yourself, Bob Harri son, ain’t you ?” “No ; far from it.” “Why, what’s the matter?” “Well, I am so mixed I don’t know’ who I am.” “Don’t take it so hard to heart.” “I ain’t; I’m taking it in my handker chief.” “Well, sir, what’s the matter?” “Why, I’m married.” “Married ? Ha ! ha ! ha ! Why, sir, you shoul i be happy.” “Yes, but I ain’t.” “Well, all married men are supposed to be happy.” “Yes ; but how many are so ?” “Well, sir, as I said before, don’t take it so hard ; tell us about it.” “Well, Sam, I'll tell you how it is. You see, I married a widder, and this widder had a daughter.” “Oh, yes ! I see how it is. You have been making love to this daughter.” “No worse than that. You see my father was a widower, and he married this daughter, so that makes my father my son-in-law, ain't it? Well, don’t you sec how I am mixed up?” “Well, sir, is that all ?” “No ; I only wish it was. Don’t you see, my stepdaughter is my stepmother, ain’t she? Well, then, her mother is my grandmother, ain’t she ? Well, I’m married to her, ain’t 1 ? So that makes me my own grandfather, don’t it?” Insignificant.
